Mia's POV Immediately after I was done with the food, I made my way to the apartment with the boys. Though I know he wants to speak with me, I'm not willing to entertain any discussion with him. "Come here Liam and Lewis, it's time to get you to bed," I said and they followed me to the room, I finished taking care of them and tucked them into bed. The room went silent and I sighed trying not to cry, I looked at the kids on the bed and I couldn't help but feel extreme sadness deep within me. I know very soon they will begin to ask questions and will want to know who their father is. I have no idea what I will say to them then, and given the kind of personality my kids have, they likely start asking those questions right away and that doesn't seem to be anyway good at all. I stood up from the bed and headed to the sitting room, I paused seeing all the toys on the floor."How come I didn't notice this when I came in earlier? What exactly is Azek trying to do? Win me over by buying my k
Mia's POV The next day I woke up feeling a little bit optimistic which is something I have not felt in a while. Ever since this whole thing started, I have been feeling nothing but sad and angry every minute. I stepped into the bathroom to quickly have my bath, lizzy and I agreed she would be coming here to visit plus she was so eager to see the boys. It's been a while since we both sat down to talk or discuss anything. And one thing, I miss my best friend."And thinking of my best friend, I should call Lilian. I doubt if she will be happy that I have another friend and I've replaced her so soon." I said chuckling as I imagined what our reaction would be. I'm certain I can predict the words she might even use."You finally decided to call today, I thought maybe you have forgotten all about me. Since you are now in a new city and you live in that big mansion. You have forgotten your friend of little beginning, how very vain of you." She said and I burst into laughter, I was almost ro
Lizzy arrived at the mansion late in the morning, I told her not to come early because I didn't want her to encounter Azek. As much as I don't like what's happening now, I do feel liberated and free. At least I'm no longer hiding from Azek because I now live with him. "Mia!" Lizzy screamed as soon as she saw me come out of the duplex to meet her on the way. I had the head butler pick her up at the bus station, that was the only way I could ensure she didn't get lost. I know how clumsy Lizzy can get, and she doesn't seem to acknowledge it no matter how much I point it out."Lizzy!" I also giggled excitedly as I moved away from the door and ran to hug her. I missed my friend, she was the only thing close to family that I ever had. After my parents changed towards me, I had to take up a job at the mart just to be able to get by and afford some things for myself. That was when I met Lizzy, and to think I separated from her for so many years just to avoid Azek is awful now that I think a
Azek's POV I've not been able to concentrate on anything since I resumed this morning. Everything has been nothing short of frustrating for me. And even though I pretend not to know the reason, I know it's because of my wife. She's the only person that can drive me crazy like this. I have to find a way to make her forgive me no matter what, I just have to try. It's the only thing that matters to me right now, I don't even care about work or all of those things. None of them made any sense to me right now, I was still contemplating what to do when my phone rang. I checked and it was the private investigator I hired to find out about the twins. He must have some news for me and it better be something good."Are they my children?" That was the question I asked him and I'm sure he must be shocked as well. I really can't help but be paranoid about this whole thing."Well I can't tell Mr Ford but, with the information you provided me and what I have here. The chances are high, I forwarded
Mia's POV Immediately I opened the door, I was shocked at the person I saw at the door. And here I am thinking he won't be bothering me anymore. Just who does he think he is to treat me like this? Coming here whenever it so pleases him, I frowned as I placed my hand over my chest. "What do you want now Azek? I'm not interested in any of your silly games this night so please leave me alone already." I said and slammed the door but he was fast enough to catch the door. As though he already predicted my move."Mia please wait, we can sort this out," Azek said and ran after me, but I was in no mood for his nonsense. I had so much fun today, the last thing I need right now is to end my day with a fight especially one with Azek."Mia, I'm begging and asking you to give me a chance to explain all that happened. I know my behaviour can't be excused but you have to at least let me say what I have to say. I've been looking for you for the past five years, I even went to great lengths to have
Azek's POV I heard what she said and I could feel the blood wipe off my face. I bet she's only saying that to cover up and make me mad, I walked close to her grabbing her by the hand. "Mia I know you are mad at me but please don't deprive me of spending time with my children, they are mine and I know it. I had a private investigator look things up and I discovered a few things. First, the kids and I have the same surname. Then secondly, you had them five months after you left. How then can you say they are not mine? That is not fair to them or to me, they have to know their father." I said already feeling angry myself."You had me looked up? How dare you do that? Just who the hell do you think you are to look into my life like that?" Mia asked yelling at me."You left me with no other choice Mia, you don't want to talk to me or give me the slightest chance to even explain myself to you," I said trying to get close to her but, she kept drawing back. "Why do you suddenly care about t
Mia's POV I woke up feeling down, I had such a short night and that was because Azek was very generous enough to ruin my day, and I'm going to kill him for that. I have no idea what to do now, I'm already tired of doing nothing and lying around like this. I heard a knock on the door and walked to the door dragging my feet. I'm already used to waking up so early because of my former job and now I don't know how to undo that."Good morning ma'am," Jessica greeted with her head bowed and I shook my head."You are not going to stop right?" I asked her and she smiled at me not saying anything, I guess I'm just going to have to get used to her addressing me like this no matter how much I try to stop her, she's going to continue addressing me as ma'am. Jessica came into the house and began her work, she went to the room first to see if the kids were sleeping and I felt grateful for her. She has helped me a lot since I began working here and I owe that to her. Soon I heard another knock on t
Mia's POV "Azek what the hell are you even doing? Let me go this minute, you don't have the right to hold me down like this. Leave this place right this minute," I said but he didn't seem to hear me, he wrapped his hand around me and drew me closer to him. He whispered something into my ear but I didn't hear anything he said."I didn't think I would be saying this, but I miss you, Mia. And I suffered so much after you left me, please forgive me. I have suffered enough already, I think that's enough punishment or don't you agree?" He asked me and I was taken aback by his words. As much as I refuse to believe him, I cannot help but feel the sincerity in his voice and the way he is speaking. I was finally able to get out of his grip and walked to the kitchen. I cannot stand him right now, Azek however followed after me. I opened the fridge and grabbed some milk there, I didn't want to speak with him, so I'm going to do everything possible to avoid him. Azek grabbed me and put my back a
